Free-to-Play Pushmo Title Hits Japan

The latest in Nintendo’s adorable Pushmo puzzle series, Pushmo: Hippaland, has been released in Japan. While it seems to have more of the same block-pulling action as the previous titles, the latest 3DS eShop release is being offered as a free-to-play title. The Beginner’s Courses are free, but the rest of the game is divided into four purchasable packs, each with their own difficulty level and themes. For example, the Famicom Plaza features tons of classic Nintendo cameos, but is set at a five-star difficulty.

With the purchase of just one pack, players can access a mode where they can create and share courses through QR codes. While the packs can be purchases individually, they’re offered at a cheaper price in an all-in-one deal, so rest easy, Pushmo fans.
